When you’re buying a property, it’s important to know that while there are no strict rules or obligations regarding Healthy Homes reporting or disclosure of the property’s Healthy Homes status, if the property is being advertised as ‘Healthy Homes compliant’, there should be some evidence available to back up that claim.
This evidence could be in the form of a formal report or a statement from the property manager or owner. We would advise caution with the latter, however, as although the current owner might think they understand the compliance requirements, that’s not always the case. As with all matters relating to purchasing a property, it is important to seek your own independent professional advice.
